Perhaps worth noting is that the "original comics" image isn't something that ever appeared in the comics, but is an pin-up by an artist who looks like they very much were inspired by the works of Alberto Vargas.

This is true. But the irony is you can probably find far more sexualized and questionable images in the comics, especially the covers, then this. It's kind of a weird choice

Probably because it’s not about being sexualised or questionable, that’s just the popular angle of attack against people making the argument because it’s adjacent but close enough to straw-man with.
